(from a complete outsiders perspective) man give AOC a crack at the presidency.

She's been there long enough now to figure out how it works, and is young enough and seems sharp enough not to make a complete b0rk of policy

(idle thinking) there's no way in which the existing model of "send me all your telemetry!!" from vendors works *unless* you're not paying the egress costs.

*Hoooowever*. There's also no way I'd support my software in someone's account or compute infrastructure.

Idly, I've noticed recently that a segment of the population who seems to delight in the world is seemingly "falling apart". Making comparisons to the "total collapse of" or ... blah blah.

You: "please act normal you need these people to like you"

Me: "ok!"

People: "hi!"

Me: "hi!" <Immediately stands up and to walk or climb or play with a ball> "you and I are going on an adventure and there will be wine"

"Good things come to those who wait" is such a bullshit quote. Stop waiting! Stop waiting around for change to happen upon you. Go out and effect change!

Also good for like, just being in Germany.

A small town mayor in Alabama killed himself after a conservative web site published pictures of him in women’s clothing and make-up. The closet is a hard place to be, and outing anyone can be very harmful. We need a society where it’s okay to be who you want to be if it doesn’t hurt anyone else.

I reaaally like the interface for these tools, but like, their answers are iffy at best and that I can't ask for (and verify) citations makes them deeply challenging to use.

Also, lol at this answer.

lol bard like "hey i think it is this one"
me "nah i don't think so"
bard: "haha you're right my bad"

it is interesting that rather than be like "uhhm i dunno bro" its like "AHH HERES SOMETHING"

Nothing like 40 on the bike, an 60 doing drills and another 20 sparring to prepare oneself for a solid week of ... Whatever it is that I do

The curative power of a strong coffee and Bacon and Eggs should not be understated. I think I've just had my first clear thought in 4 days!

It wasn't a worthwhile thought but I have high hopes for the future.

Hi lovely SRECon fam! Here you will find me being entirely unprofessional. Content includes whatever bright and shiny thing I've just seen or my sheer frustration at either tech or content creation.

I recommend managing your expectations and planning accordingly.

Thanks for listening to this PSA

It’s National Coming Out Day! 2 things to know. First, there is no “right” time to come out, and to do so should be your PERSONAL choice, not someone else’s decision. Second, it’s never too late! I came out in 2005, after living more than six decades largely in the closet. & I’ve never been happier.
